If the "only" VGA device on the system is not used for displaying the image on the screen marking it as `boot_vga` because nothing was found is totally wrong. This behavior actually leads to mistakes of the wrong device being advertised to userspace and then userspace can make incorrect decisions. As there is an accurate `boot_display` sysfs file stop lying about `boot_vga` by assuming if nothing is found it's the right device.
